Have been thinking of upgrading my old Telecom supplied DLink302G for some time.
$150 from Noel Leeming

Get good speeds (7800 bps) with the old DLink - would I expect better with the Linksys?
No our cabinet is not ADSL2+ enabled.

Cheers

1257829 2012-02-07 00:04:00 Talk to Chill .... got one ... wouldn't recommend one ... SP8's (9836)
1257830 2012-02-07 00:57:00 You won't get a faster speed until you get onto ADSL2+ Safari (3993)
1257831 2012-02-07 01:04:00 I take it you meant 7800kbps? in which case it's just under the 8M max for ADSL. Are you sure the cabinet isn't ADSL2+ though? most are now and with the D-Link you wouldn't know because they won't go over 8M either.

Chill generally recommends the netcomm NB6Plus4Wn and people seem to like them. I had a WAG160N myself and it worked well until it just simply died one day.

1257833 2012-02-07 03:10:00 I owned a WAG160N, very similar modem to the 120, wouldn't touch any of that series with a 40 ft barge pole, horribly unreliable things if you are a heavy user. Look for a Netcomm or a TP-Link. wratterus (105)
1257834 2012-02-07 18:15:00 I'll echo wratterus sentiments. For some reason when Linksys try and put ADSL and Wifi into the same device, it just doesn't end up right... Don't go near them.
